## Resource

The Port of Olympia is investing $85,355 in a new economic impact study to measure its ripple effects across Thurston County — jobs, multipliers, and community contributions — as part of its ongoing five-year assessments to boost grant applications and benchmark against other ports. While the majority approved the study, one commissioner pushed back, arguing it lacks environmental analysis — a critical gap he believes should be addressed. Despite that, the port selected BERK Consulting to deliver a thorough economic portrait, prioritizing transparency and future planning — even if environmental concerns are set aside for now.
